Now this is pretty cool. The OpenStomp is an open source stomp pedal with a built-in sound effects processor. Called the Coyote-1, it includes a Windows-based workbench for making new sounds and a Propeller processor. Sadly, the device isn’t out yet but when it is it will be completely open source complete with OS source and plans for tweakers. It even has a little LCD screen and 1MB storage. I’m going to get one and record “The First Cut is the Deepest.” Try and stop me.
